English Civil War
The Clash

When Johnny comes

Marching home again

He's coming by bus or underground

A woman's eye will shed a tear

To see his face so beaten in fear

An' it was just around the corner in the English civil war

It was still at the stage of clubs and fists

When that well-known face got beaten to bits

Your face was blue in the light of the screen

As we watched the speech of an animal scream

The new party army was marching right over our heads

Alright

There you are, ha ha, I told you so

Says everybody that we know

But who hid a radio under the stairs

An' who got caught out on their unawares?

When that new party army came marching right up the stairs
